Sounds like a load of baloney to me

A computer programmer that had his computer rendered useless for 2 months due to pop-ups & incoming SPAM...something smells fishy to me
Obviously not a qualified programmer

I'm no brain surgeon but have managed to hold the spam & pop-ups at bay with a few basic programs

That day is a long way off

Like our Aussie government has just passed useless legislation which only
has afects those spamming from within Australia

So the spammers will go off shore and on their merry way

The only effective current remedy

Spam Washer at

One piece of spam got through in 4 weeks of use

Thats 1 out of 2000

I am only mildly in favour of the death-penalty for spammers.
Being a liberal, I would probably settle for vivisection.

I run adaware,spybot & cw shredder every day

If in doubt that your system is clean you only need run the program hijack this and post the results to

The experts will tell you if there is anything that need removing

Even after removing all spyware from your system it only takes one misuse of your email addy by whoever for it to become spam city which is why spam washer programs are a necessity IMHO
